A.J. Reeves, a 6-foot-6 guard from Roxbury, will play for the Celtics in the Summer League, he told Boston.com on Friday.
Reeves, the Gatorade Player of the Year in Massachusetts in 2017-18, shined at Brimmer and May in Newton and at Providence College. He grew up a huge Celtics fan and fondly remembers watching the 2008 team win a title when he was a young kid.
He said it was “almost surreal” going through the Draft process with the Celtics. Boston was his first workout, and he was already home at the time, so he felt more comfortable than he otherwise would have.
